- DrShiny: wait, say all that again, i spilled soup on my keyboard so i couldn't hear you
- dr_jesus: when a child dies and has NOT been daemonized (into a completely new process group), the child zombifies because the kernel needs to keep the child data structures around in case the parent wants to look at them to figure out why the child died
dr_jesus: ONLY WHEN the parent process calls wait() or a similar routine to extract that information does the kernel clean up the child data structures, since now the parent has them and can start poring over them to figure out what happened and what to do about it
dr_jesus: now the parent might not want to sit around all day waiting for its kids to die, so the kernel sends SIGCHLD to the parent so whatever the parent is doing can be interrupted and it can call wait() at that point to figure out 1) who died, and 2) what caused it
dr_jesus: so basically SIGCHLD is child protection services and the kids are suicidal
dr_jesus: and a zombie process is a foster kid with a big tattoo on its forehead saying EXIT CODE = 0xwhatever and cps keeps it around waiting for the deadbeat parent to show up and get the exit code

- Valkyrie: Atala: how big is your vagina?
- aestetix: So, somewhere near the top of the list of people "You don't want to piss off (™)"
aestetix: Up there with Hitler's ghost and Your mom
aestetix: I think would include the people who did the construction work at Noisebridge
aestetix: They're pretty badass
- dr_jesus: btw I'm still planning on putting current meters on, as soon as I can convince someone not to rip them out because you can't read keystrokes off a battery powered laptop at the space using a 1Hz sample rate on a 10 bit ADC hooked up to the mains current sensor
- Crutcher: Then they came for the Assholes - and there was no one left to speak for me.
- >> Valkyrie` points out that bongs and other devices can be used to smoke a variety of plant matter, from tobacco to sage.

A few weeks ago, I posted on what we had saved for the first two weeks of our fridge-less project. I got some interesting responses! Some of which made me realize that not everyone who is a current browser on my blog fully understood what we were doing. I had a hair-brained idea to see if we could live without a refrigerator for a month. No reason. Not really to save money (though I knew we probably would). More like, I just wonder if we can?
I got a lot of "I'd love to do that, but I can't live without my [insert favorite cold food or drink item here]" comments. That was never the point of our experiment. More like the opposite. How could we unplug the fridge and still eat and drink all the things we like to have?
So if you're a newer reader and have not followed since the beginning of this project, which we started in May, or if you just can't remember that far back (I know I can't!), please read my first post about it. It summarized the old and inefficient fridge we were using, and some of what we thought we were getting into. This post explains how we are keeping food cool. Yes we still have milk and yogurt and cheese and meat. And we use the chest freezer in the garage. I have two boys, a preschooler and a toddler. And they love them some yogurt. 😉
One of the more interesting comments I got after that post a couple weeks ago came from a reader on Facebook. She said:
I watched "No Impact Man" with my yoga class and we had a discussion afterwards about the movie and in particular the getting rid of the fridge part. Even though they were "saving electricity" in their apartment, they were using someone else's electricity to procure the ice they were using, not to mention that spoilage was possible by not keeping cold foods at a safe temperature, especially considering they had a baby in the house. Most of us in the yoga class came to the conclusion that we *could* go for a time without a fridge – I've done it myself after several hurricanes for up to 3 weeks – but the energy that shutting off most new energy efficient refrigerators actually saves is often negligible.Your family saved approximately $4. You didn't say in your blog post, so I have to ask: was $4.00 worth the extra trouble and inconvenience?
So first, I want to talk about the inconvenience. Here's what is currently in the "icebox" (the freezer compartment of our unplugged refrigerator): A gallon of milk, a quart of half and half, a half gallon of yogurt, four kinds of cheese, a tub of cottage cheese, lemon juice concentrate, fish sauce, homemade jam that's a little too runny at room temperature, peanut butter (so I don't have to stir it every time), green onions, grapes, a pound of butter, hoisin sauce, ginger, my bacon grease container, half a bottle of bleu cheese dressing, and mustard. Oh, and two one-gallon jugs of ice. Normally there would also be mayonnaise, possibly some orange juice, and usually some carrots and celery, but I need to go to the store. Meat for tonight's dinner is defrosting on the counter.
To keep all of this cold, I walk out to the chest freezer in the garage each morning (usually while I'm on my way to get chicken food) and swap the half-melted ice jugs for two completely frozen ones. I also grab meat for that night's dinner and a pack of peaches or frozen veggies or whatever I'm going to use later in the day. Pretty simple, and we didn't change our diet or menu at all. The only thing is that I now buy only one gallon of milk instead of two each week, or it will go bad too soon. I don't go to the store more often, we just are drinking less milk (but this hasn't been an effort, not sure how it's working actually?).
We did leave for the weekend at the end of May, and that entailed a bit of planning for the condiments we left behind, but it really wasn't a big deal.
Next, cost. From May 1 to May 18, we saved $0.31/day or $5.58 for the month compared to the previous year. That was 15.5%. Unlike No Impact Man, we were still running our chest freezer in the garage, regardless of the experiment, so this was a true and actual savings, since we run our own freezer year round, and we ran it last year as well.
Now it's been a full billing cycle. From 5/18/11 to 6/17/11:
|This Year
|Last Year
Average Daily Temperature
Gas/Therms per Day
Gas/Cost per Day
Electric/kWh per Day
Electric/Cost per Day
Translation: We saved $0.76 per DAY over what we spent last year! For a month, that's $22.80 in electricity. Um – math people, correct me, but is that really 33.2% !?!??!?! REALLY!??!?! Whoa.
Is it worth it? Um, yes, 33.2% savings over a year in electricity is worth a daily trip to the garage freezer to swap out ice jugs to us! That amount of money would put a decent dent into buying a newer, more efficient freezer (which would really save us a lot more, since ours is from the 1980's).
Will we keep it unplugged? As it stands, Y.E.S.!! Now, admittedly, this is the first week of distribution from the CSA, so we're not sure how all of that will be handled once the major produce really starts rolling in. I am 35 weeks pregnant, which means I can expect to be less available to handle food preservation duties for a few weeks. But Rick and I make a pretty good tag team. There's no law that says if the going gets tough (or we're just plain going crazy), we can't plug back in to catch up. But I really don't think that will happen. I will, of course, tell you if it does. Full disclosure here. The plan for now is to keep going without it. Feels kind of liberating, actually!
So what do you think? Would you be willing to try it? Any ideas of how we could improve? Do you think it's worth it?
Also, I think I linked to nearly all of them, but just in case, here is the entire series of posts covering our Unplugging the Fridge experiment. Happy reading!

Bravettes, VanHyfte ready to take next step
Since she arrived as a freshman, Celina VanHyfte has helped put Annawan Bravettes basketball on the state map.
There's one destination on that map, however, that's escaped the team.
"Celina and I have spent all of her varsity games together. We have beaten some high-ranked teams in multiple classes and have some great games filed away in our memories," said Annawan coach Jason Burkiewicz. "It's been a lot of fun and the only thing missing is a trip to Redbird."
"It would mean the world to us," said VanHyfte of playing at ISU's Redbird Arena later this month.
VanHyfte and the Bravettes will try to fill that state tournament void starting next week as they host a regional featuring talented conference rivals Wethersfield and Stark County.
To date in her junior season, VanHyfte has guided the Bravettes through a 24-2 campaign that's featured winning the Temple's Tip-Off Classic in Geneseo, placing fourth in the State Farm Holiday Classic, and sweeping the Lincoln Trail Conference tournament and regular-season titles. She's averaged 23.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and more than a block per game as Annawan sits at No. 2 in Class 1A heading into the postseason.
She's put up all those glitzy numbers while being the focus of opposing defenses every night.
"She is obviously going to draw extra attention on a nightly basis," said Burkiewicz of VanHyfte, who earned first team all-state honors her sophomore season. "I've even seen teams throw three girls on her, therefore I'm assuming the opposing coach is going in with the mindset of somebody besides Celina has to beat us. The good thing is we have provided that protection all season and other players are capable of doing some scoring for us."
"I just go out and give 100 percent no matter what they throw at me," said VanHyfte. "Sometimes I just hang back and let my teammates take care of the scoring. Then that frees me up later in the game."
The Annawan coach said VanHyfte usually lets her play do the talking in practice and during games. "Celina is not a huge vocal leader. However, she is not afraid of any situation and always believes we will come out on top of every game," said Burkiewicz. "She basically looks at her teammates when it's her turn to speak and tells the girls that we are a great team that knows how to play basketball, so let's just go play the game like we know how to."
Annawan basketball is a family affair for VanHyfte, with her freshman sister Morgan playing varsity minutes and her mother Val in her second season as an assistant coach.
"Obviously I have to pick on her a little bit," said Celina of her little sister. "She has developed her game really well and I've been surprised at how well she's playing for a freshman."
"Celina is really happy to see Morgan join the team this year and they work well together," said Burkiewicz. "Most of the time the relationship is good with mom on the bench as well, but we all know how the mother-daughter relationship can cause some heated moments. Usually when it gets to that point, Val just steps back and says, 'Burk, talk to her.'"
The Bravettes nearly made the trip to state last season, falling to LeRoy 56-53 in the Illinois Wesleyan Super-Sectional. VanHyfte and Megan Foes were the two returning players that logged significant time on last year's team, and felt the sting of narrowly missing the Final Four.
"My main focus coming into this season was how will this group play under pressure," said Burkiewicz. "What I was able to see in the State Farm Classic showed me this group does not get rattled. I see this group being as tough as any group we have ever had when the pressure will be on."
"Because we did so well last year, that sets the bar a little higher this year," said VanHyfte. "Everybody is excited. The team is excited and we're ready to play as hard as we can."
Entering next week's regional, VanHyfte's teams have compiled a record of 76-10 and she's scored 1,735 points in the process. Just five more wins stand between the Bravettes and their ultimate goal.
"No Annawan girls team has ever gone to state," said VanHyfte. "It would be the most amazing feeling to know we accomplished something no other Annawan team has before."

For a compete survey of related techniques, purchase and view the webinar, Chainless Foundations, now available on demand.
A technique tutorial by Doris Chan
I have recently become entranced by the infinity or mobius style of cowl design. The fabric grows from the center outwards in a continuous figure 8. The following explanation and picture tutorial is being provided for all who have been petrified by certain of my designs, including the Valley Cowl from WEBS and DJC: Snow Day, and may also be generalized for other applications.
The cowl begins in the middle with a foundation.
Fdc (Foundation Double Crochet): This creates a beginning row of double crochet, each with its own chain at the bottom, which forms the center strip of an infinity style or mobius cowl.
Begin with a slip knot, ch 4 (equals first "ch" and first "dc"). Place a marker or safety pin in the 4th ch from hook (in other words, in the first ch made). For the next stitch, YO, insert hook in 4th ch from hook, *YO and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), YO and draw through one loop on hook (equals the chain), [YO and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice (equals the dc)*. For the following stitches, YO, insert hook in the ch at the base of the previous st, through the face of the chain and under the nub at the back of the chain, under 2 strands (leaving the 2 strands at the chain edge), repeat from * to * for length as directed (TUTORIAL 1, 2, 3, 4)
Connecting the Foundation into a Mobius Round:
Turn foundation over so dc edge is on top, careful not to twist foundation yet. (TUTORIAL 5)
Bring last dc together with beginning end (TUTORIAL 6), give beginning end a half twist, matching last loop on hook with marker in first ch (TUTORIAL 7, 8 ), sl st in first ch (TUTORIAL 9, 10). I like to connect up the row edges of the foundation strip before continuing. Keeping hold of the ends so they don't untwist, turn foundation upside down (TUTORIAL 11), rotating to work across the row edge of the ch-3 beginning dc, sl st in each of the 3 chs that form the beginning dc (TUTORIAL 12), then reach over and sl st in the foundation ch at the bottom of the last dc (TUTORIAL 13), thereby connecting the top and bottom of the foundation (TUTORIAL 14, 15). Begin working across the "ch" side of foundation.
TUTORIAL 1 — The foundation is a strip. See the marker in the first chain made. As you are crocheting it, the strip sort of hangs down from the hook, with the chain edge to the left. Make sure you are inserting the hook so that two strands are running along that chain edge.
TUTORIAL 2 — The chain edge should look like the loops of a chain.
TUTORIAL 3 — The dc edge looks just like normal dc top loops.
TUTORIAL 4 — Here's a reduced sample of your strip just as you're done crocheting. See the marker in the first chain made, see the next 3 beginning chains.
TUTORIAL 5 – Turn foundation over so dc edge is on top. This puts the hook in ready position.
TUTORIAL 6 — Bring last dc together with beginning end, not twisting foundation yet.
TUTORIAL 7 — Give beginning end a half twist; which direction is not critical.
TUTORIAL 8 — Matching last loop on hook with marker in first ch
TUTORIAL 9 — Reach over, insert hook in marked first chain.
TUTORIAL 10 — Sl st in first ch.
TUTORIAL 11 — Turn the piece upside down.
TUTORIAL 12 — Sl st in each of 3 chs.
Tutorial 13 — Reach over and sl st in first ch of other edge.
TUTORIAL 14 — Connected!
TUTORIAL 15 — Ready to continue, with half twist!

About This Course
This advanced course focuses on two primary goals: (1) appraising how Jews, Christians, and Muslims shaped the history of medieval Spain and (2) mastering the craft of Spanish paleography, the skill of identifying Spanish handwriting in the 11th- through 15th-century manuscripts. Through the lens of the medieval history of Burgos, we dedicate 75% percent of our efforts to developing pragmatic expertise in the interpretation of Carolingian/French/Gothic handwriting.
Specifically, the course explores how the royal Castilian city of Burgos influenced, and was influenced by, Jews, Christians, and Muslims. We closely evaluate the Spanish Christian Reconquest, the Plague and the 14th-century Castilian civil war, anti-Jewish pogroms, the emergence of elite conversos (Jewish converts to Christianity), and the role of the king and Roman Catholic Church in the creation of Catholic Spain. Through onsite interviews in archives and museums in Burgos, we experience the medieval city, artifacts, and manuscripts. While we teach using Spanish manuscripts, very little or no knowledge of the Spanish language is necessary to complete the course.
Using an intensive array of paleography practices, exams, independent projects, and collaborative efforts, you will garner exceptional skills that you can apply to interpreting any medieval European handwriting. To demonstrate your mastery of paleography you will (1) create a 14th-15th-century alphabet, numeral, and abbreviation guide using manuscript images, and (2) transcribe one selection from a medieval manuscript.

The state won't sue Longmont over its fracking ban, but will support any oil or gas companies that choose to do so, Gov. John Hickenlooper's office confirmed Friday morning.
The governor first made the announcement Thursday afternoon to about 300 oil and gas executives at the Rockies Midstream Conference in Denver. The statement marks a shift since Hickenlooper's last visit to Longmont in September, when he said that banning hydraulic fracturing would likely bring a second state lawsuit.
"After further consideration it became clear that wasn't the right path going forward," said Eric Brown, a spokesman for Hickenlooper. "The state will not sue Longmont over the fracking ban because there is uncertainty over whether the state has legal standing to sue in this instance. But we do stand ready to support an energy company that does file a lawsuit in response to the ban."
A question of standing means it's unclear whether the state itself — in this case, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission — would be considered an injured party and thus eligible to sue. Support of any industry suit, Brown said, would probably be through a friend-of-the-court brief.
Now part of the city charter as Article 16, the ban puts Longmont off-limits to hydraulic fracturing or the storage of waste from the practice. Popularly known as "fracking," the technique uses high-pressure water, sand and chemicals to crack open oil and gas deposits deep below the earth's surface. The practice is common in the industry but also controversial, with opponents claiming that fracking can lead to environmental damage.
Mayor Dennis Coombs said he was pleased by the governor's decision but not surprised.
"We pretty much expected that they wouldn't sue us on this," Coombs said. "It's more of an industry issue."
The state already has one lawsuit against Longmont, pressed after the city passed its new oil and gas regulations in July. The COGCC claims that the regulations, which include restrictions against surface drilling in residential zones, trespass on state authority. Longmont attempted to get the case dismissed, arguing that the state lacked standing, but in November, a Boulder County District Court judge ruled that the case could move forward.
The judge also allowed the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, the state's largest oil and gas industry group, to join the lawsuit. COGA has not yet announced whether it would take any action against Article 16 as well.
Even with the risk of a second state lawsuit gone, Coombs wasn't quite ready to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm grateful," he said. "But I'm pretty sure that this doesn't mean we're off the hook by a long shot."

You will earn 3.4 WayPoints for each product that you purchase.
These Sn3 drilled crosstie QuickSticks strips for flexible trackwork provide the craftsman with a fast and efficient method for finishing curved lengths of soldered Flexible track built with a Fast Tracks assembly fixture.
Part of the Fast Tracks Infinite™ Track System each laser cut strip is a lattice of wood ties that are glued directly to the roadbed and are designed to accommodate the soldered PC Board ties.
Strips can be linked together using a TieClip connector to form strips of any length. Strips can also be connected to any other Fast Tracks QuickSticks product (used to construct Turnouts, Wyes, etc.) and can be shortened if necessary.
The skeleton trackwork (the rail and PC Board Ties) built in a Fast Tracks assembly fixture is simply set on top of the QuickSticks Strips and spiked or glued into place. Empty areas are strategically located along the strip to accommodate the PC Board Ties that are used for building trackwork in assembly fixture.
When used with Fast Tracks fixture built trackwork, QuickSticks Flexible Crosstie Strips offers incredible convenience and accuracy.
QuickSticks Flexible Crosstie Strips are cut from very pliable Baltic Birch plywood custom sawn specifically for Fast Tracks. The ties are 0.11" (2.8mm) 7 scale inches wide, 1.31" (33.3mm) 7 scale feet long and 0.08" (2mm), 5 scale inches thick, and will match commercially available wood ties and flextrack.
Each strip includes a TieClip connector for connecting the strip to another crosstie strip. You can order additional TieClips here.
The QuickSticks on this page are the drilled version. We offer Quicksticks with either drilled or non-drilled wood ties. The version you choose is a matter of personal preference. The non-drilled version has trackwork fastened to it with Pliobond adhesive. Plionbond will provide a solid bond for a lifetime as its bond increases over time and is very reliable. Spiking onto our drilled QuickSticks will provide a mechanical bond that some modelers prefer, but requires a bit more time to install. Not all ties are pre-drilled, only ties at key locations to allow the turnout to be fastened in place.
Spiking trackwork to QuickSticks.
If you prefer, a non-drilled version is available that is designed to be glued to the rails using Pliobond glue.
Get a head start by downloading the QuickSticks builders guide now.
In addition to an extensive Q&A section, we also offer a full library of track building documents.

Grammy Awards: The Black Keys among pre-telecast winners
LOS ANGELES —A slew of artists sit one back going into the main awards show tonight at the Staples Center, including Kanye West and Jay-Z, Gotye, former best new artist winner Esperanza Spalding, jazz man Chick Corea and Christian singer-songwriter Matt Redman.
Most of the attention has been on Frank Ocean going into the awards, but his fellow lead nominees got an early lead on the R&B singer during the pre-telecast show.
West and Jay-Z won best rap song and best rap performance for the song "... in Paris" from their "Watch the Throne" collaboration and lost a third for short form video for "No Church in The Wild," which featured Ocean. Ocean will be up for five awards later in the evening.
Other early winners included Rihanna, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Mumford & Sons, one of six top nominees with six nods apiece. Ocean is up for the major awards best new artist, album of the year and record of the year when the show airs live on CBS at 8 p.m. EST from the Staples Center.
The Grammy pre-telecast awards show at the Nokia Theatre had 70 trophies up for grabs, including rock, pop, rap and country categories.
Skrillex won best dance recording for "Bangarang," featuring Sirah, best dance/electronica album for "Bangarang" and best remixed recording.
"Let's keep making music," he said. "... We're a big family. We're a big community. We support music and forward-thinking ideas here."
Gotye won best alternative album for "Making Mirrors" and best pop/duo performance for "Somebody That I Used To Know," featuring Kimbra.
Spalding had one of the most touching moments of the pre-telecast awards show, taking the stage with her longtime jazz teacher Thara Memory for their win in the best instrumental arrangement accompanying vocalist category. She also won for best jazz vocal album for her "Radio Music Society."
Corea, who competed against himself in two categories, won best improvised jazz solo for "Hot House" with Gary Burton and best instrumental composition for "Mozart Goes Dancing."
And Redman won best gospel/contemporary Christian music performance and best contemporary Christian music song (in a tie) for "10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)."
Other early winners included Rihanna, who won short form music video for "We Found Love" featuring Calvin Harris, and Swift won the Grammy for best song written for visual media for "Safe & Sound," her collaboration with The Civil Wars on "The Hunger Games" soundtrack. It was Swift's seventh Grammy and the third for Joy Williams and John Paul White of The Civil Wars.
"I think it's appropriate that Taylor thanks us because we've been carrying her for a while and it's getting really tiring," White joked.
Beyonce won for best traditional R&B performance, Mumford & Sons took their first Grammy, winning along with Old Crow Medicine Show and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros for their long form video documentary "Big Easy Express."
Celebrities began rolling down the red carpet in the early afternoon, but it remained to be seen if any would try to skirt CBS's mandate that stars dress appropriately with butts, breasts and other sensitive areas covered adequately.
"I think it's just, you know, we should always stay classy and dress according to the event that's being held," Ashanti said on the red carpet. "So I don't think people should be limited so much and told what you can and cannot do. But, you know, you do have to have a certain class and prestige about yourself."
Celebrities also felt an increased Los Angeles Police Department presence in light of a manhunt involving an alleged cop killer. Police were everywhere, including atop the hotel across from the Staples Center.
Ocean might be riding a wave toward some of the night's biggest honors. He is still up for five awards going into the night along with fellow top nominee fun.
"It feels cool," Ocean said on the red carpet. "It's really bright, a lot of beautiful ladies walking around being fancy. I have to perform tonight so the wheels are constantly spinning. You can't really just sit in your seat and take it all in."
